Hi, there, brief history of me (Silas), got into BMX in 1981, sold my Chopper(should have kept it really) and got myself a Raleigh Burner, i was well chuffed as all my mates had Grifters which were as heavy as a motor bike. Tried a bit of racing but that was not for me, I Quickly got into customizing my bike, and in 1982 i got a Skyway TA frame and forks, first a chrome one, then i got a white one. Used to love going to Romford skatepark almost every sunday for a few years, when i wasn't learning a new trick or riding the bowls you could always find me on the Tron arcade machine !!!! Also used to ride Chingford Halfpipe (Chase Lane Park), Portsmouth skatepark, Meanwhile skatepark, The South Bank and all over London. Then i got my favourite bike of all time, a Hutch Trickstar in 1984, metal flake blue. I competed in a few freestyle competitions, i ended my BMX days getting 4th at Holeshot BMX National Comp at The Sobell Centre, using Double Dee & Steinski - Lesson 3 as my music. So i then make a big mistake, i sold my Hutch in 1988, although the money went on Chicago house music 12's after going to

[/img]Hedonism (rave party) at Hanger lane, then RIP at Clink St, and finally Shoom. Kept buying records until 1993, i then started to make music and buying music equipment. Finally in 2010 i searched on the internet to try and buy a Hutch Trickstar again, i thought it would be hard to find one, let alone a metal blue flake frame and forks, but i did, it was in the USA, so i got on a plane and brought it back to the UK, its almost identical to the one i had all those years ago, HAPPY DAYS

i think blue woody bars are different paint from hutch blue bars lol, i used to have Woody Itson bars first (chrome) , but much preferred the Mike D bars, had them in the same metal flake blue as frame and forks, once i get bars i would like to swap the Sugino 180 flights for some Redline 180 401's single pinch bolt with a Redline chainwheel, ill be totally happy then

Good to see you decided to check in Sy.
Nice to bump into you at talk BMX the other day. It made my training ride a lot more interesting.
Good luck finding the bars mate

Welcome to Rad mate! Fair play for getting a flight to the states so you could pick the frame up! Must have cost you a fortune!

Welcome to Rad fella, nice TS but with the changes you want to do it will look an awesome machine. I've got a couple of TS's myself, gorgeous bikes.

Hi back to everyone

my flight cost £350, i stayed with my sister who lives over there, the whole bike was $1300 and it only cost me $50 to put on the plane!!!, i even argued with AA that i shouldnt have to pay extra lol
then sneaked through customs

the guy i brought it from had had it in his front room for over 10 years, still has original paint on it
